RAILROADS AND FORESTS.

Bulletin No. l from the forestry di-
vision of the Department Of Agricul-
tture, has been issued and given to the
country and, among other things, gives
much valuable information in regard to
the relations the railroads bear to
forest supplies Of the country. While
giving the railroads full credit for their
just share in the development of the ma
teriaI resources of the county, the facts
are clearly pointed out that this develop
ment has been at q vast expense to the
timber supply of the country. 1t is esti-
mated by government experts that the
wasteful manner in which rail-
road timber has been obtained
in the last fifty years, that 100, 100000
or one-tifth Of all the country's for.
est lands have been denuded and, judg-
ing the future by the past, twice that area
will be required to furnish timber for the
railroads in the next fifty years. Besides
what timber has been consumed in con-
structing and equipping railroads, the ex-
tension of these highways has brought
within reach of the markets Of the world
distant forest areas, where to make Ium-
bering profitable only the choicest grades
were selected, leaving the less desirable
grades to rot N useless waste. The
pamphlet is filed with interesting data
and will be read with interest and
profit by those who have the
interests of the country at heart,
sudsuot without alarm by those who have
give the n,-stion Of our forest supplies
serious attention. The introduction I"
iron or metal ties is strongly urged as
means of economizing the timber supply
and the wisdom and necessity Of arbori-
culture dilsted upon lntelligently. Not
only are individuals urged to plant trees
but railroad corporations owning vast
4racts Of suitable lands are invited to |
plant entire forests with such trees as can |
be OF use in supplying material in years
to come. Provision for the future
should be made surely. Trees do
not grow to a size sufficiently large
for practical purposes in few years, and
If we expect to have timber supply we
must make an effort beforehand to pro-
vide for it, /

Praise Your Wife.
Columbus Telegram

Praise your wife, man; for PHYS sake
give her little encouragement; it won't
hurt her. she doesn't expr ct it; it will make
her eyes open wider than they have for
the last Ten years; but it will do her good
for ali that. and you, toe. There are
many women to day thirsting for word
of praise and encouragement. You know
that if the floor is clean labor has been
performed to make it so. You know that
If you can take from your drawer a clean
shirt whenever you want it, somebody's
fingers have toiled. Why don'tVou come
out with it hearty, "Why. how pleasant
you make things look, wife," or 81 am
obliged to you for taking SO much pains"
If you gave one hundred and sixtieth
part of the compliments you elmost
checked them with before they were ma
ried; if you would stop the bandinage
about whom you are going to have when
number one is dead (such things wives
may laugh at, but they sink deep some
times) fewer women would seek for other
sources of happiness.

TIE KNIGHTS AND THE TELE-
GRAPH.

The Knights of Labor in their session
at Minneapolis have emphasized their de-
sire for governmental control Of the tele
graph, and the Leading papers of the coun-
try are filed with discussions of the sub
ject pro and con. The New York Herald
is not willing to go as far as the Knights,
but calls for regulation of rates which
VIII give uniform price to the country,
as in the case of the postal service. The
facts are clearly set forth that what are
known as the metropolitan papers can Sc
cure rates on telegraphy which practical
ly shuts out all interior journals and
gives these favored metropolitans a mo-
nopoly of the news service. The position
taken by the Herald will doubtless be as
sumed in time by the statesmen of
the country. There is no demand for
that species of psternalism favored by the
Knights which must result from govern
mental control, and there is no desire on
the part Of the country to submit to ex-
tortionste charges from the telegraph
II the telegraph company
permits its greed to get the better of Its
prudence and proceeds to the raising OF /

A Paper Read Before the UpngrSss CT the
Protestant Episcopal Church.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 10 At to-day's
session OF the Protestant Episcopal church
congress of the United SJstes the topic
discussed was "The Higher Education of
Women" Rev. John Lock of Bristol, r.
l., read paper which will no doubt be
well received by the women every where
He said the fair majority of
women, IS of men, were capable
of receiving higher education. This was
shown by the way in which girls were so
able TO cope successfully with boys in all
branches Of learning. He referred to the
University of Michigan, where women
were educated in all the higher branches.
The president of that institution stated
that women learned their lessons quite as
easily as men. No more OF them broke down
and they showed more enthusiasm. The
statement that the minds of women
should OF be developed more than their
muscles, in order that they might not be-
come masculine. WAS neither good Mo-
hammedan nor Christian doctrine. Woman
suffrage was possibility of the future
He would not say whether this was
proper or not. Had it not been
for the work Of Francis willard
and her associates in spreading
the gospel OF temperance the result of the
last presidential campaign would not be
what it is. The last census showed that
out of 18, ops 900 women more than 2. 500,
900 were engaged in business occups-
tons. He reviewed the learned profess
ions and showed how women had achieved
distinction in them. At the close Of the
address he was loudly spplsuded.

within that compsny's pasture, to the
number of about $50, to get out under
pain of an infection of the supposed
penalty of the new land law. This COM
pany has heretofore maintained friendly
relations with the settlers under the
direction of it's late general manager, Mr..
81. W. Cresswell. He was uniformly
kind to them; gave them work in the
round-ups: Offered no resistance to their
settlement within his enclosure, and was
universally popular. Mr.. Cresswell has
sod cut his interest in the company and

p.ny is a very large one, including about
100000 acres. Il nes lad
leased for some time the most CT the
privste sections which 1t did
not own, and has leased the school lands
under the new Law. Wolf creek, one OF
the finest streams in the Panhandle, runs
through the heart of the pasture, and the
settlers who have. been ordered out are
scattered along this stream. They have
been unable to purchase the land from
the state heretofore because, being wa

lessee is Scottish company.
